Hilferufe im virtuellen Raum


Die Hilferufe sind selten zaghaft und leise, sondern meist eindringlich und kaum zu überhören. In zahlreichen Suizidforen und Chaträumen im Internet wird über Selbstmordgedanken und Suizidmethoden diskutiert: ohne ärztliche Begleitung und in einer direkten und schonungslosen Sprache. Ärzte und Psychiater sind sich einig, dass die Seiten für depressiv Erkrankte nicht zu unterschätzende Gefahren bergen.

Mystery Music Stops Paris Opera


Phantom of the opera? Maria Callas returning on the 25th anniversary of her death? Perhaps not, but strange voices could be heard in the Opera Garnier on Monday evening as a production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare" opened the 2002-3 season. With the public soon becoming restless, a voice from the audience finally asked loudly, "Can't someone stop that?"

MTV hat "The Osbournes"...wir haben "Die Lugners"!!!


ATV startet Mini-Soap "Die Lugners" Mörtel, Mausi und Jaqueline wüten ab 23. September im Privat-TV. "Das Publikumsinteresse nach ‚The Osbournes’ spricht für sich", so Alexander Oth, Geschäftsführer des für ATV produzierenden Unternehmens On-Media. "Was lag also näher als mit ‚Die Lugners’ die erste deutschsprachige Personality-Soap zu starten?" Keine andere Familie verfüge über einen annähernden Bekanntheitsgrad in Österreich, so Oth. Die ohnedies nie sehr medienscheue Familie wird das Publikum nun mit Alltagsszenen aus dem Tunesienurlaub, dem Besuch im Sexshop, Mausis Besuch beim Zahnarzt und anderen heimeligen Erlebnissen beglücken. Ob dies für die Quote förderlich ist, wird sich zeigen. Sollte die Mini-Serie erfolgreich sein, ist eine Fortsetzung (nicht notwendigerweise mit der Familie Lugner) denkbar.

Austria's far-right Freedom Party has chosen a low-profile minister to lead it into an upcoming general election. Mathias Reichhold, transport minister in the outgoing coalition, was appointed after Joerg Haider, the controversial former leader who once praised Adolf Hitler's employment policies, turned down the chance to lead the party again.
